As per my observation it will depend upon your OS, because i  gone  through the  linux  and  solaris  OS. Linux have moe kill signals than Solaris,  in  solaris  itself  solars 9 and solars 10 have some difference on kill signals like solaris 9 have 46 kill signals and solaris 10 have 48 signals.

 I don't know on what bases it will compare, does any body have idea about same.

There are 45 signals in all. Starting from SIGHUP no 1 to SIGRTMAX no45.
